SUNY Canton to Celebrate Newest Residence Hall
SUNY Canton will be sweetening the grand opening of the Grasse River Suites Residence Hall with an ice cream social.
The SUNY Canton Foundation and the Grasse River, LLC, will be holding a ribbon cutting celebration for its newest residence hall at 2 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, at the Grasse River Suites. Free ice cream will be available after the ceremony.
The residence hall opened to students at the beginning of the Fall 2011 semester, adding much needed on-campus housing at the College. Guided tours of the facility will be available.
"There has been a great deal of interest and excitement surrounding our newest buildings," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "The ribbon cutting ceremony will be held to showcase the beautiful new building and successful work of our foundation staff and our partnership with the Grasse River, LLC."
The apartment-style complex has 304 beds grouped into 83 independent living suites and is adjacent to the Cooper Service Complex. The residence hall is designed primarily for upper class students and includes a mini-store, multi-purpose classroom, and an open courtyard for recreation and outdoor activities.
The $26 million project was financed through bonds secured by a partnership created with the Town of Canton and the Canton Capital Resource Corporation. The Grasse River Suites were constructed without any state funding or taxpayer resources.
"The College and greater Canton community both benefit from our newest residence hall," noted Vice President for Advancement David M. Gerlach. "The building adds to the appeal of our campus and expands its four-year housing options, which will attract more students to the area. Each of those students will spend more time locally and our businesses and communities will continue to grow and thrive. And because these 305 students benefit from having kitchens in their suites and are only on partial meal plans, they will be shopping at local grocery stores and eating at local restaurants even more than most students."
Northland Associates of Liverpool was the general contractor for the LEED Silver Certified building. Many area subcontractors were hired to help complete the project.
The ribbon cutting ceremony is the latest in a string of grand opening celebrations across SUNY Canton. The College recently celebrated a Taco Bell and KFC Express located next to the existing Jreck's Subs in the Richard W. Miller Campus Center. Staff members are currently planning a grand opening for the Roos House Athletic Center.
Media inquiries should be directed to Gregory Kie, Media Relations Manager, or call 315/386-7527.

But it's in a white zone, so planetary mostly only.
I have also been hauling my scopes out to Milford, Utah a couple or 3 times a year for some REALLY dark skies (black zone!), but it's 500 miles one way, so I don't get out there much.
Milford site
At least Joshua Tree is just over 2 hours from our LA home, so I'm likely to go out there at least a couple weekends a month!
There is a light dome from Palm Springs/Indio to the south that's sort of a pain, but overhead is very dark. I was surprised that light from Yucca Valley wasn't bad. I could even see the zodiacal light that way when we went out there over new moon in January.

My grandparents owned a ranch in Juniper Hills 50 years ago, beautiful skies! My dad did a lot of work at Edwards AFB, my name is scrawled in the concrete on a few hangers and runways out there as well as some missile silos at Vandenberg AFB. Skies were so dark and clear 50 years ago, most kids will never see the milky way, sad.
Hope you close and get to start enjoying your land soon! I love Highland Park, a great old LA neighborhood that still has it's charm.

Our place is 6.2 miles ENE of the OCA site. I haven't been to the OCA site at night since 1998, but I've been told by people who've observed both here and OCA that our area in Terwilliger Valley is a bit darker. I have no doubt that your new place will be significantly darker than Anza, but I would worry about seeing. A GMARS regular told me that poor seeing is a frequent problem there.
I used to go to the OCA site near Anza, but it's been several years since I was last there.
Posted 11 May 2013 - 12:52 AM
I was at The Sky's The Limit in 29 palms a few weeks ago. They had some solar scopes set up, and I was surprised that the seeing was rather good that day.
But no huge worries. I do planets from LA mostly. But it doesn't really get dark here!

I'm envious. The number of clear nights at our dark site is pretty low unfortunately.

So, unless things have changed and it's crowded even in the summertime, I figure there will still be things to do in August out there!
As an aside, along those lines, the neighbor said that the problem with escrow closing next week is that it's already getting too hot to work out there. I jokingly said "we'lll come over full moon weekends and build at night!"
Seriously, I think the first thing to do will be to put in a septic tank. Then, we'll look for a used travel trailer or motorhome that we can park on the lot for facilities while we build. There's a water meter and power is nearby, so we could probably hook up a trailer with power, water and septic for the mid term while we come up with plans for a small cabin and observatory or two.
We'll know more in a week!

I am sooo envious (in a non-resentful way).
I have been fantasizing about having a scoping shack away from city lights (orange zone at my house) for many years.
Well - 3 kids later (the second just about through college) and it is time for me to start thinking about this again. I hope to get serious about it in about 3-4 more years.
I live in north Los Angeles County, so my areas of choice (within 2 hours driving distance) are either Cuyama Valley (blue zone) or Onyx - east of Lake Isabella (gray zone).
Continue to keep us posted on your new astro property. I can use you as inspiration until I can get one for myself.
Side note: With Southern California's huge population base and lots of relatively dark Mojave Desert, with so many clear, relatively warm nights per year, I always wonder why no-one has yet attempted to start a formal astronomy community in California? Perhaps someday.
Posted 16 May 2013 - 12:08 AM
Probably because most of those with the money and interest know that it'll be even darker at remote sites in AZ and NM, or (apparently) in the Sierra Nevada, and there'll be less risk of losing the dark sky in those places. I'd think Onyx would be pretty good. I lost my dark sky in Temecula to a hotel and casino, built on land that I imagined (when we moved there in 1993) would be forever safe from development. You just never know what's going to come from left field to ruin things. Probably the least-threatened areas would be around the fringes of the Mojave National Preserve, but isn't that mostly BLM land? Greg, you might be interested to know that what is now Santa Clarita was once considered dark enough that LAAS had dark-sky star parties nearby (a place called Cassidy Ranch). I had a friend who moved to Lancaster in 1950, and I remember how Newhall and beyond along US Hwy 6 (now Hwy 14) was pitch black at night.

Precisely why now
Is because I wanted to get started before I am too old to build one. And too old to appreciate it once I do. I just turned 60 so I have several years before retiring, so if I build in Utah now I won't be using it more than 3 or 4 times a year. It's very dark out there though so I will probably go out there more often when I do retire, but unless we sell our house in LA, Joshua tree will still be our "main" retirement/vacation home.
Posted 16 May 2013 - 11:00 AM
Posted 16 May 2013 - 11:08 AM
It is awesomely dark there though, so I'll use it when I can. They get very high windstorms though. I've been thinking if hanging an anvil on a chain for a windsock.
Posted 16 May 2013 - 12:30 PM
I'm 68 now. We did two things about this: move to Anza (not ultimate dark sky, but much better than Temecula) and build the observatory now. So I had BYO build it for me. I know there are guys who are really big on DIY, but I thought if I went that route, I'd be looking at a pile of lumber several years before I got started. I don't have a lot of years left. We went through Milford, UT, last year when returning from the annular eclipse. I didn't see much around there. Should be very dark. We have a small piece of property between Show Low & Concho AZ, and it's very, very dark there, and we thought about pulling up stakes and moving there. But we have family here in so. Calif., and we're natives. It's home.

Edited to add: Tim, 15 mos. ago I never expected we'd be here. When we listed our home in Temecula in Feb '12 I thought in the current market it'd never sell, certainly not without a lot of sprucing up. Our realtor convinced us that it didn't need much sprucing, so we listed the home, and it sold in 10 days. We had an offer before it was even on the MLS. Since we bought in 1993, even after the crash we had quite a bit of equity, and the home here in Anza was only $150K for a bigger home with 2.73 acres of property, mostly still in native vegetation. I don't know your situation WRT equity, but it may be easier to sell your current home than you think.

If you want something done right, as the old adage goes, sometimes it's best to do it yourself. PTC Molds Co. of Arizona recently found that to be indeed the case, and in the process expanded its position in injection molding by taking on a project that another processor was having difficulty executing.
PTC, based in Scottsdale, has been in business more than 40 years, specializing in producing complex, tight-tolerance molds primarily for medical applications. It used to do a lot of custom medical molding as well, before selling off that part of the business about 15 years ago, recalls Phil Mitchell, the former owner of the company who still serves as its president. Since then, PTC's six injection presses have been used primarily for mold validation.
Featured Content
Last year, PTC invested more than $250,000 to get back into the molding business. This included purchasing a new Arburg 60-ton machine that was equipped with a Novatec membrane-type dryer with a throughput capacity of 5 lb/hr, and Novatec's MoistureMaster, a novel in-line moisture analyzer that debuted last March at the NPE2012 show in Orlando, Fla.
This about-face wasn't what Mitchell had in mind when he built a four-cavity mold for a longstanding customer in the molding business. The PBT part, for an undisclosed medical application, is 3/8-in. long with wall thicknesses ranging from 0.006 to 0.060 in.
The trouble was, the parts kept fracturing, and the original molder, despite embarking on a stringent QC inspection program, could not determine whether bad material, a poorly designed mold, a snafu in drying, or something else altogether was causing the failures. Convinced that poor material was not the culprit, the customer sent the mold back to PTC and asked the moldmaker to prove that the tool could actually produce the parts to spec.
At first, PTC found that approximately 75% of parts were too brittle to satisfy the OEM's requirements. At that point, Mitchell recalls, PTC got down to business, building a clean room and ordering the new press with the Novatec drying technology. After some initial testing to find the optimum moisture content of the PBT needed to make non-brittle parts consistently, PTC was able to mold parts that were virtually 100% defect-free and passed the fracture test. PTC then took over the molding job.
"We cut no corners on this project," Mitchell states. "We look at the MoistureMaster as an 'insurance policy' that gives us confidence the machine is being fed material in the best condition possible."
When PTC is ready to start molding each day, it starts up the NDM-5 membrane dryer. It produces the required 250 F process air, at a consistent -40 F dewpoint, without desiccant. After the material reaches the proper temperature and is exposed to the low-dewpoint air, the machine operator fills approximately 1 lb of resin into the MoistureMaster chamber and gets an immediate reading of the moisture content. When the moisture content gets to the required level, the material is fed to the press and molded.
Since NPE, Novatec has invested about $100,000 in its Drying Technology Center in Baltimore, adding four new offline moisture analyzers, reports Doug Arndt, drying systems engineer and MoistureMaster product manager. It has run more than 1000 validations tests of resins such as ABS, PC, ABS/PC, nylon 6, glass-filled nylon 6, PBT, and PUR.
The MoistureMaster measures the actual moisture in the resin, so processors no longer have to infer resin moisture values based solely on drying-air temperature and dewpoint. Novatec is the exclusive supplier for MoistureMaster technology in North America. The unit can be retrofitted to virtually any drying hopper, silo, material line, or machine throat.
Calculate Shot Size Vs. Barrel Capacity
It may seem like a dull topic, but it will overcome the emotional experience that follows when you put a new mold into a machine and you find out there is not enough barrel capacity to make a full shot.
How to Reduce Sinks
Modifications to the common core pin can be a simple solution, but don't expect all resins to behave the same. Gas assist is also worth a try.
Best Methods of Molding Undercuts
Producing plastics parts with undercuts presents distinct challenges for molders.

Nicole Englanoff and Leah Zeffren, both 19, sunbathe on the beach on Christmas Day in Santa Monica, Calif.
LOS ANGELES — Unseasonably balmy weather settled over Southern California on Wednesday as a region already accustomed to celebrating Christmas without snow experienced temperatures some 15 degrees above normal.
The warm spell baked the West Coast while the Midwest, Northeast and parts of Canada were still dealing with the aftermath of a winter storm. Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses were without power on Christmas morning, energy companies reported.
Southern California temperatures climbed to record or near-record levels in the upper 70s and low 80s, propelled by warm, dry Santa Ana winds blowing toward the Pacific from the high deserts, meteorologists said.
By midday, the temperature reached 81 degrees Fahrenheit in downtown Los Angeles and was expected to top out just short of the city's record Christmas day high of 85 degrees, set in 1980.
The afternoon warmth followed an overnight low of 47. Temperature records for the city date to 1877.
The city of Long Beach, about 20 miles south of Los Angeles, saw the temperature soar to at least 83, 2 degrees Fahrenheit above the 1972 record for Christmas Day, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Curt Kaplan.
Daytime highs also were forecast to approach record levels in Burbank and San Diego. Southern California's normal daytime highs range in the mid- to upper 60s this time of year.
The region's coastal conditions likewise brought little Christmas cheer, with low waves expected to frustrate surfers who traditionally wear Santa Claus costumes to ride the swells at this time of year.
Capping a year of scant rainfall, the arrival of Santa Ana winds also prompted the Weather Service to post a "red flag" advisory for much of Los Angeles and Ventura counties, warning of a high risk of wildfires due to dry, blustery conditions.
The Santa Anas arise when a high-pressure area forms over Utah and Nevada, producing a strong, westerly air flow that heats up sharply as it blows through the desert mountains of southeastern California and descends into the coastal basins below, meteorologist Mark Moede said.
The winds were thought to have contributed to power outages that left some 5,000 homes without electricity Wednesday morning in Simi Valley, north of Los Angeles. Most customers were reported back on line by midday, according to Southern California Edison.

Status Report
From: NASA HQ
Posted: Monday, September 5, 2011
At this very moment one of the fastest spacecraft ever launched -- NASA's New Horizons -- is hurtling through the void at nearly one million miles per day. Launched in 2006, it has been in flight longer than some missions last, and still has four more years of travel to go.
New Horizons headed for the lonely world of Pluto on the outer edge of the solar system.
Although astronomers now call Pluto a dwarf planet, "it's actually a large place, about 5,000 miles around at the equator," says Alan Stern, principal investigator for the mission. "And it's never been explored."
Indeed, no spacecraft has ever visited Pluto or any dwarf planet^1 .
"This is a whole new class of worlds," says Stern. "To understand the solar system, we need to understand worlds like Pluto."
Pluto is a resident of the Kuiper Belt, a vast region beyond the orbit of Neptune. Stern believes "the Kuiper Belt contains a thousand dwarf planets or more - a whole zoo of them! Dwarf planets are, in fact, the most numerous class of planets in the solar system, and probably in the whole universe."
Pluto is a world of mysteries. For one thing, Stern wonders, what are the molasses-colored patches on Pluto's surface seen by the Hubble Space Telescope? Some scientists think they could be deposits of primordial organic matter. "New Horizon's spectrometers will help us identify the kinds of organic molecules on Pluto. We expect to find something pretty interesting."
Hubble recently contributed more intrigue by spotting a new moon circling Pluto -- bringing the total to four. Composite Hubble images of Pluto now resemble a miniature planetary system. New Horizons will hunt for even more moons as it approaches the dwarf planet.
The probe is primed for detective work -- equipped with instruments capable of "knocking the socks off anything Voyager carried." In addition to state of the art spectrometers, New Horizons wields one of the largest and highest resolution interplanetary telescopes ever flown. It's called LORRI, short for Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager.
"At closest approach to Pluto - about 10,000 km up - LORRI can resolve details almost as well as a spy camera. The view will be incredible. If we flew this instrument over Earth at that altitude, we could see individual buildings and their shapes."
What will we see on Pluto? Some researchers say we could spot icy geysers^2 . Some say we could see those surface deposits of organic material. Stern says simply, "There could be all kinds of surprises! It's a first exploration of a new kind of planet."
Heading far from home, "New Horizons is like Noah's Ark - our ship has two of everything, for backup," says Stern. "Two heaters, two computer systems, two of everything except the scientific instruments. And even those have capabilities to back each other up."
When New Horizons reaches Pluto it will have traveled 9 years - longer than any spacecraft has ever flown to reach its main target. To save power and reduce wear and tear, it hibernates^3 much of the time. But all systems will be ready to spring into action upon arrival in 2015.

Its 5-cup uncooked rice capacity — 10 cups cooked — is ideal for great tasting, evenly cooked rice any time. The perfect capacity for families, family get-togethers and entertaining.
Cook and steam two dishes at once
This high-quality, touch-button simple rice cooker/steamer is also a time-saving multi-tasker. While your rice is being prepared to perfection inside the cooker's inner pan, a food grade steaming basket and two-dish separator accessory on top can simultaneously prepare additional dishes. Now everyone can enjoy not only sumptuous rice and rice-based delicacies, but also healthy, freshly steamed spinach, carrots, broccoli, potatoes and other vegetables, plus a variety meats, and fish and seafood.
Eliminate sticking with tough anchor coating
The super-tough, non-stick anchor-coated inner body not only eliminates clumping and sticking, it also makes after-dinner cleanup quick and simple. Panasonic's anchor coating is permanently bonded to the cooker/steamer's unbreakable polycarbonate inner body to evenly conduct and distribute heat for faster cooking and better tasting, uniformly prepared rice. Plus years of continual use with no loss of cooking efficiency.
Ready when you are
Whichever rice or rice-complemented dish you prepare, a handy keep-warm function automatically activates when cooking is done to maintain an ideal serving temperature for up to 5 hours. And two sturdy, keep-cool handles make serving safe and simple, and feature rice scoop and glass lid holders for optimum ease and convenience.
Measured for ease and perfection
Perfect rice and rice-based meals begin with the perfect measurements and accessories. To ensure the ideal proportions of water and rice, the Panasonic SR-W10FGE comes complete with a precise measuring cup and rice scoop in addition to the steamer basket and two-dish separator.

Mary Hemingway, the journalist wife of author Ernest Hemingway, who long after his death dedicated herself to protecting his image and reputation, has died after a lengthy illness. She was 78.
Mrs. Hemingway will be cremated and her ashes buried next to her husband`s grave in Ketchum, Idaho, said Jack Hemingway, Ernest`s eldest son. She died Thursday in St. Luke`s Hospital in Manhattan.
The former Mary Welsh, she was born on April 5, 1908, in Walker, Minn., the daughter of a lumberman.
She was graduated from Northwestern University and began her career as a reporter for the Chicago Daily News in 1932.
A correspondent for Time and Life magazines who covered the London blitz during World War II, she was Hemingway`s fourth and final wife. Their often rocky marriage produced no children. During that time he wrote several novels, including ''The Old Man and the Sea'' and ''Islands in the Stream.''
The two met in Paris in 1944, a period covered in Mrs. Hemingway`s autobiography, ''How It Was.'' In her book, she described the many high and low points in their relationship.
In an apparent fit of jealousy over her work as a reporter a few years after their marriage in 1946, Hemingway called her a ''scavenger.'' Another time he reportedly smashed her typewriter.
But the couple also shared many adventures, fishing together from his yacht, going to bullfights in Spain and on safari in East Africa, surviving a plane crash in Africa and frequenting celebrity haunts and watering holes.
The two lived for a while in Finca Vigia, Hemingway`s house in Cuba.
Returning to Cuba just a month after Hemingway committed suicide July 2, 1961, she donated his house and land to the country to comply with the author`s legacy. Fidel Castro turned the home into a museum.
Castro, who used to throw worn copies of Hemingway`s selected works into the back of his car when he set out on trips around the island nation, has called Hemingway his favorite author.
Mary Hemingway spent part of the couple`s married life typing his letters, reading his manuscripts and managing the household while trying to maintain her independence in the author`s shadow.
After his death, she worked to uphold his memory and maintained that he had killed himself accidentally while cleaning a gun.
She discovered his body in their Ketchum home in 1961, later writing how she came down the stairs and found him ''a crumpled heap of bathrobe and blood, the shotgun lying in the disintegrated flesh.''
She donated the home to the city of Ketchum, which is considering turning the 8-acre estate into a nature preserve.

Hello All,
I have a if statement that uses the or ( '|' ) and the and ( '&' ) for the if's condition. Here is the code:
if (ch < '1' | ch > '7' & ch != 'q') return false; else return true;
So if I'm reading this right, it says ch less than '1' OR ch greater than '7' AND ch not 'q'...
Well when 'ch' is 'q' this code returns false... I just don't understand because it seems like the (ch != 'q') would have to be true if this statement is going to return false...
Could someone explain why this works?
I appreciate any feedback!

This is not only unnecessary... celebrate it that much tougher for an electrical contractor into the future in after to set up it to the homeowner. The electrician now has to follow out all the wires to have the original splices back to place. This involves removing switches and receptacles and their replacement that is a lengthy process.

In some places technical English comprehension can be among the requirement as this skill can help for manual interpretation.
Another safety come with a residential electrician can help install is GFCIs. GFCIs are ground-fault circuit interrupters. These outlets include a sensor that shuts off if there is a hazardous alteration of the actual. Frequently, GFCIs is going to be seen in bathrooms or kitchens as a result of water hazards. As of 2008, the National Electric Code requires them in most new homes. However, older homes might need to have them installed.

Combo Vaccine Raises Risk of Fever-Related Seizures in Kids
MONDAY, June 28Toddlers who receive the combination MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella and varicella) vaccine are at higher risk of having a febrile seizure a week to 10 days after receiving the shot than children who get the MMR and varicella (chicken pox) vaccines separately at the same visit, a new study confirms.
Although the combination shot doubles the risk of febrile seizure, the odds are still quite small, experts noted.
"What's important for parents to understand is that even though there's a doubling of the risk for the combination vaccine, the overall risk of seizure to any one child with any measles-containing vaccine is still less than one in 1,000 doses," said Dr. Nicola Klein, co-director of the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center in Oakland, Calif., and lead investigator of the study, published online June 28 and in the July print issue of Pediatrics.
The study, funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, involved the health records of more than 459,000 children who received their first dose of measles-containing vaccine between 2000 and 2008. The data came the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a vaccine safety surveillance system sponsored by the CDC and comprised of health records from eight managed care organizations across the country.
Researchers found that among 12- to 23-months olds who received their first dose of measles-containing vaccine, the MMRV shot resulted in one additional febrile seizure for every 2,300 doses given when compared with separate MMRV and varicella vaccines.
Febrile seizures are brief convulsions brought on by fever that occur in about 5 percent of children between 6 months and 5 years of age, said Klein. Although the seizures are distressing, especially to parents, they don't lead to epilepsy or seizure disorders.
The findings are a follow-up to preliminary findings on the twofold increased risk of febrile seizures, which Klein and her colleagues reported to the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in February 2008. Soon afterward, the ACIP changed its recommendations from a stated preference for the MMRV vaccine to no preference for either MMRV or separate MMR and varicella vaccines.
"The reason we did the larger study was to confirm the finding of the twofold increased risk, and to evaluate seizures that occurred at other times, and we found no increased risk outside the seven-to-10-day window," said Klein.
The MMRV vaccine, made by Merck & Co., was licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2005, for use in children aged 12 months to 12 years. The first dose was recommended at 12 to 15 months, and the second at 4 to 6 years. Since 2007, the vaccine has been unavailable because of manufacturing problems, but the company recently began taking orders for it again. Many clinics and doctors offices still had the vaccine in stock for much of 2008.
Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson, a pediatrician in Mill Creek, Wash., who is also on staff at Seattle Children's Hospital, said she was initially a big proponent of the MMRV vaccine but began counseling parents about the increased risk of febrile seizures as soon as the preliminary findings were made public and the ACIP changed its recommendation.
"I would say, 'There's a new report out that says seizures are twice as likely with this combination vaccine, but they're still really rare,' and every person chose to separate the vaccines," said Swanson. "Parents thought it was worth an extra 20 seconds of discomfort if they could protect their kids from these diseases equally well with two shots and reduce the risk of seizures."
"My job as a pediatrician is to help families decrease side effects and risks," added Swanson, herself a parent of two young children. "One in 2,300 is nearly nil, but it's not entirely nil. And nobody wants their child to be that one."
Partly because of the findings of this larger study, the CDC last month released new recommendations for the MMRV vaccine, stating that all children with a personal or family history of seizures should get the separate MMR and varicella vaccines. The CDC also said that, although either the MMRV or the separate MMR and varicella vaccines may be used as the first dose for children aged 12 to 47 months, health care providers should give separate vaccines for the first dose "unless the parent or caregiver expresses a preference for MMRV vaccine."

It was an accidental hoax. A screenshot from Back to the Future got passed around this summer, showing that June 27, 2012 was the date when the DeLorean hurtled forward in time. After a certain period of excitement, posts, and retweets, people soon realized that the image had been modified: the "actual" date wasn't for three more years. Turns out this wasn't even the first time this had happened. A similarly fudged screenshot of the DeLorean's time counters spread across the internet just two years before (though that was an intentional hoax).
Not only were people spreading incorrect information, but the collective internet consciousness didn't even recognize the return of the same error. And even when we do recognize such errors, we can't fix them as easily as we might like. Just ask Philip Roth about how difficult it was to correct an entry on his own Wikipedia page – he had to publish an open letter in the New Yorker to satisfy the requirement for a more reputable secondary source.
Knowledge changes around us all the time. Yet we don't always have the most up-to-date facts. This is true, I'd argue, even in an age of instant and massive information. Despite our unprecedented ability to rapidly learn new things and crowdfix mistakes, Knowledge and its sinister twin Error continue to propagate in complex and intriguing ways. Errors persist among us for far longer than they should and even when there is more accurate knowledge elsewhere. Newer knowledge does not spread as fast as it should and weaves its way unevenly throughout society.
The problem isn't just epistemological – it can have serious consequences. Doctors might not realize there is a newer and better treatment. Teachers might not have the most current materials. Parents might not have the latest child-rearing techniques. Entire fields of science invest time, money, and other resources recapitulating the findings of others due to their ignorance of other fields' advances.
While ongoing scientific inquiry is one solution to improving knowledge and rooting out error, the diffusion of accurate facts is far from instant or guaranteed. For example, many retracted scientific papers still get cited years after they have been retracted. The number of citations may drop quite rapidly once a finding is retracted (due to error, fraud, or other reason), but it can still be cited long after the study has been discredited or otherwise rendered obsolete. Some of this spread comes down to the complicated structure of social networks, as well as cognitive quirks that make each of us predisposed to either accept new information or ignore it entirely. There is a burgeoning field of network science devoted to studying and addressing how the structure and other properties of our interactions can affect the spread of information and misinformation. But what we know about this is far from complete.
Here's a seemingly innocuous example having to do with the health benefits of spinach. The iron content of spinach was measured back in the 19th century, but due to the transposition of a decimal point, for decades it was thought that spinach had 10 times more iron than it actually did. In the early 1980s, an eminent physician published a paper – aptly and tersely titled "Fake!" – in a medical journal to root out such errors:
In the year that Popeye became once again a major movie star it is salutary to recall that his claims for spinach are spurious. Popeye's superhuman strength for deeds of derring-do comes from consuming a can of the stuff. The discovery that spinach was as valuable a source of iron ... was fraudulent; German chemists reinvestigating the iron content of spinach had shown in the 1930s that the original workers had put the decimal point in the wrong place and made a tenfold overestimate of its value. Spinach is no better for you than cabbage, Brussels sprouts, or broccoli. For a source of iron Popeye would have been better off chewing the cans.
After carefully tracking down this paper, I shared this story in my forthcoming book The Half-Life of Facts as one of many examples about how knowledge grows and changes.
Well, funny thing. This story about correcting a scientific error itself seems to be erroneous.
According to a professor at Nottingham Trent University, a sloppy measurement – rather than a typographical mistake – caused the error about the high iron content of spinach. And like the DeLorean hoax of this summer and a couple of years ago, the error had already been corrected by the early 20th century. But just as the original sloppy measurements still got cited decades later (so some of the claims about the error's persistence seem to be true – the story is wonderfully complicated), the erroneous myth-busting in the medical journal has also been cited for decades. All of this was debunked in 2010 – 29 years later! – by Nottingham's Mike Sutton (and even acknowledged by the original journal author). But news of it did not arrive to me until after my book had already gone to press.
Far from being disconcerting, however, this is exciting.
It would be so convenient and predictable if all knowledge stood the test of time. But if that were the measure of being a scientist, then no one would be a scientist. No one would explore or write or even be willing to read about our latest (even if recapitulated or inaccurate) findings. Of course, we still have to be scrupulous; but the good news is that while knowledge is fickle and changing, the way it changes does obey some rules and regularities. There is a method to the madness.
So we should all keep in mind what a former professor of mine said after lecturing his classes on a certain scientific topic on a Tuesday. On Wednesday, he read a paper that was published and that invalidated the lecture. On Thursday, he went into class and told his students, "Remember what I told you on Tuesday? It's wrong. And if that worries you, you need to get out of science."
UPDATE: The plot thickens. With the spinach error, there seems to have been confusion about iron oxide and iron as well, but the story is still in progress... See Mike Sutton's comment below.

One things we're going to do more, perhaps in a separate section if we can figure out this internet website thing, is write about fantasy football. This is not because we claim to have any special expertise — in fact Andy has never been in a FFL league — but because I spend a lot of time looking at this stuff and it's easier to justify doing that if I think others might read it, too.
With that in mind, and with our devotion to (obsession with?) accountability, check out this post at the New York Times' football blog, Fifth Down. It is a ranking of the various fantasy football preseason rankings last year. The author is a young woman who calls herself the Fantasy Football Librarian and keeps her own blog under that name. (Seriously, how many marriage proposals do you think she has gotten over the lifetime of her blog?) If you want to see which of the preseason rankings are worth checking out again, give it a click.
She also directed me to this article, which discusses the relative health of NFL teams last year and concludes that the Packers were the healthiest. Their number of "games missed" seems low to me, but it's interesting nonetheless.

If I ever publish a book about living in a van, it would be my dream come true. That's because—at the height of my fame—I'd be able to cash in on a series of substance-less, get-rich-quick, money-making schemes. At the top of that list is the Kama Sutra of Cuddling.
The self-help book industry is huge. And there are tons of books out there to help couples liven things up in bedroom (not that I've, uh, ever looked at any of them). My book will follow a similar format except that 1.) It will be a coffee table book and 2.) It will show and describe cuddling positions.
I know what you're thinking: Ken, what makes YOU an authority on cuddling? To be honest, nothing. But if I buy a robe, light up some incense, grow out my mustache, and start talking about my ch'i, then maybe I can pass myself off as some sort of cuddling guru when the time comes.
Of course these aren't just any cuddling moves. The following illustrations have gone through a rigorous process of trial, error, some pulled muscles, and countless revisions. Enough revisions to piss off my illustrator. After I had her revise the "Virtual" position for the sixth time she said, "How 'bout from now on if you have something specific in mind, you don't be shy and just tell me off the bat… I know these are simple drawings, but simple looking doesn't mean simple making."
Of course the book will feature your standard positions—the spoon, the reverse spoon, the reverse spoon double leg-locked bedpost grip with a twist—you know, the standards. Instead of including them all, I just wanted to use this post to give a quick teaser before it's on bookstore bookshelves everywhere.
With no further ado, I present to you a few choice selections from the Kama Sutra of Cuddling.
Position #34: The Horse
Full leg braces are recommended for this one.
Position #53: Stacked spoons
I was never crazy about the term "spooning" because in a silverware drawer spoons aren't typically arranged on their sides. This position--with one person stacked atop the other--does honor to the utensil.
Position #183: Hooks
This one's for those who have a predilection for body suspension.
Position #402: Dual-Immolation
Going to burn yourselves alive to end world hunger? Why not go out in good cuddling form? (This one disturbed my illustrator whose only demand was that her name not be associated in any way with this project. In her words: "I must say though - all the new ones you've come up with while single are a bit disturbing. 'Cuddling' by sleeping alone, hanging from hooks, burning alive....what the hell is wrong with you?!!!")
Position #682: Virtual Cuddling
Hell, many live more in online role-playing games than they do in real life. This position seems inevitable.
Position#1438: The "I just need some sleep"
Position #1584: The vandweller
Not that I would ever, uh, sleep with my boyhood stuffed animal, Mr. Ruffles.
Some future ridiculous ideas to look forward to: The "Man in the Van" children's book series, "Jesus: The TV Show," and the clear car.
